Ever so often a new twist to a popular invention hits the market. From the surfing community comes an elevated concept of surfing on water, flying above the water. Lift Foils began in a garage in Puerto Rico ten years ago, as a few passionate surfers obsessed about the potential of hydrofoils to create new experiences in the water. Over the years they expanded into one of the premium hydrofoil producers around the world, building production and custom foils, wings and boards for discerning customers who wanted the best out of the kit.
Then a few years ago, our experimentation led Lift to their newest expansion, the eFoil. With advances in lithium battery technology and wireless communication, and the desire of their customers to always experience something new and exciting, Lift saw an opportunity to create a new best-in-class product and water sports category. The Lift eFoil is a mix of all the sports experiences they have grown to truly love over the years: surfing, flying and deep powder snowboarding. A powerful, silent electric motor, a state-of-the-art battery and our high performance boards, foils and wings combine together to allow riders of all kinds to fly above any body of water at speeds up to 40km/h. The feeling the eFoil evokes when you ride it holds a category of its own, and once they had our first working prototype they set out on a mission to bring it to the world.
